Crafty Thursday: Poor Robin's Shop

Just so you know, Poor Robin, Blogapotamus Rex's joyful, colorful shop of button bracelets and other adornments is having a "Yart Sale" (yard+art) in which she is offering free shipping until Sunday, June 14. Blogapotamus is shipping from England.

Even though I hardly wear jewelry these days, I gave into temptation and bought her Panic Under the Big Top bracelet with some of my shop earnings:

And I'm so PROUD OF YOU for getting jewelry. I am now the proud owner of two new BIG OLD rings from Molten Metal, a non-Etsy artisan shop here. I have one for you, of course. Just take note: it's BIG. You could probably use it as a guitar pick.

I just like the NAME Spotty Dotty Hanky Panky! And your Day King doll is beautiful. Thanks also for sharing the French song--it made me think of that movie, Before Sunset. Have a nice vacation, Farida!

Greetings, everyone! I am enjoying my vacation very much. I even got some sewing done. I made a Queen of Night, a cloud child, a star child AND my first saint doll. The saint is Rose of Lima, who is one of the patron saints of needleworkers. Fitting, I thought.

Queen of Night has a moonbow embroidered on her cape. I've never seen a moonbow, I don't think. Yesterday, it rained and hailed, and afterward, we saw a double rainbow. Exciting! We live in a valley, so we don't see rainbows unless we're out and about.

I was actually able to visit with the lovely blogapotamus over christmas vacation this year and I too gave in to the temptation of a button bracelet. i LOVE it and get compliments every time I wear it. The leather strap has relaxed a bit over time and is a tiny bit looser than it was when i first bought it, but that's a good thing--it can now move around my wrist. and it goes with pretty much everything i own. yours is lovely!
